Bored. The only way to describe how I feel right now. Oh I'm sorry, where are my manners? I am Arianna. Just Arianna. I always have something in my hands, my gadgets of a sorts. I know more than all of the other adults in my faction, since I have a photographic memory and a gift that. I have no idea how I got. I belong to the faction of the intelligent, Erudite, although not for long. One day until the Choosing Ceremony. Less than one hour until the test. I couldn't get out of here faster.

"Arianna, get your lazy butt down here!"

I stuff my gears in my pocket before sprinting down the stairs. My father backhands me across the face, kicks my gut before screaming, "I said get down here now, not to mosey around. Go take your aptitude test so you can know how much you belong to me. Leave and make me proud!"

"Yes, sir."

You already know how the test goes, but I walk out with a smirk on my face. Divergent, dangerous yada yada yada. Dauntless, Erudite, and freedom. What my crappy excuse of a father doesn't know is that I have taught myself how to fight and shoot a gun. I have researched the initiation process for Dauntless. I have built up my stamina, and I secretly got a tattoo. You could say I have been preparing for this day for a long time. Ever since father killed my mom.

Ah, my mother. She was wondereful, beautiful, talented. But she didn't abide by father's rules, which resulted in death. I walk up to my room and lay in bed, clothes and all. I am asleep before my head even hits the pillow.

I wake up with a smile on my face. One measly hour until I am free.

I dress in a blue tank top and cutoff black shorts. I already know my father disapproves. I throw my white blond hair, which usually reaches my waist, into a fishtail braid. I put some eyeliner on to make my green eyes pop. Not to be cocky, but I'm beautiful. With my tall and lean legs that go on for miles and my doll like face, it's hard not to be. I am kind of known to be a player.

When I walk downstairs I see my dad frown and mutter "Inappropriate outfit. " under his breath. I just walk by with a smile on my face.

We walk to the New Town Hall in the Stiffs part of town. When we walk in, I smirk at one of the Dauntless leaders. I zone out until I hear, "Arianne. There is no last name listed here, so is there an Arianne from Erudite?"

Goodbye Father.
